Lamb Korma image

Originated in Persia, brought to India during Akbar period, and modified in Kashmir. The recipe varies from region to region and restaurant to restaurant. North Indian Korma is pale yellow in color from saffron and cooked without any tomatoes or turmeric. This recipe version will be the closest to the traditional Kashmiri Korma. Kashmir Pandits substitute onion and garlic with asafoetida. Serve with jasmine rice and mango chutney.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 19

500 grams mutton (or lamb)
1 cup yogurt ((thick curd))
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (fresh)
½ teaspoon salt ((adjust to taste))
1 teaspoon red chili powder ((use as needed))
1 tablespoon coriander powder ((ground coriander))
¼ teaspoon turmeric ((haldi)(optional))
1 green chili (paste or slit)
4 to 6 cloves ((laung))
2 inch cinnamon piece ((dalchini, refer notes))
6 green cardamoms ((elaichi))
2 small black cardamoms ((badi elaichi))
½ teaspoon pepper corn (lightly crushed black pepper)
3 medium onions (thinly sliced or use 1 cup fried onions)
3 tablespoons ghee ((clarified butter or oil))
2 cups hot water (Use more if needed)
1 strand mace ((javithri , refer notes))
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg ((jaiphal powder, refer notes))
1 teaspoon kewra water ((or ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder))

Steps:

  • Wash the mutton well and drain the water. Put it in a a bowl for marination.
  • Next transfer all the spices - coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric & garam masala. (or whole spices - cinnamon, cardamoms, black cardamoms, pepper and cloves)
  • Add ginger garlic paste, green chilli, salt and yogurt.
  • Mix all of these and cover it. Keep this for marination for at least 2 hours to overnight in the fridge.
  • The marinade works as a tenderizer. So longer the lamb meat is allowed to rest the more tender it turns.
  • Heat ghee or oil in a wide heavy bottom pan or pot.
  • Separate the layers of onions and slide them to the hot oil or ghee.
  • Fry them until deep golden stirring often. The onions must be uniformly browned without burning. This may take about 8 to 10 mins.
  • Cool these completely and pulse them coarsely in a blender. Do not over blend as they begin to release lot of oil. If your grinder is unable to grind, you may add 2 tbsps of water or yogurt to help grind. Set this aside.
  • To the same pan, add the lamb marinade and mix it. Begin to saute on a medium heat for about 10 mins.
  • Yogurt and lamb lets out lot of moisture. Cover and let the mutton cook in this for 30 mins.
  • After 30 minutes of cooking the mutton, add the crushed fried brown onions.
  • Pour 2 cups hot water and mix well. Cook covered until mutton turns slightly tender stirring occasionally. This may take about 1 hour or more.
  • Add mace and nutmeg at this stage (optional). Continue to cook until the mutton falls off the bone easily. Optional - Add kewra water at this stage. Mix and turn off.
  • Allow lamb korma to rest at least for a hour to absorb the flavors. Serve with naan, roti, paratha, rice, biryani or pulao.

LAMB KORMA OVER RICE



Lamb Korma Over Rice image

In the 16th century the Turkish Mongois settled in the northern plains of India, bringing with them their Moghul cuisine. It is famous for splendid yogurt and cream sauces, the delicate use of highly fragrant spices, and distinctive cooking methods for meat dishes. Korma is the cooking method of braising the meat. Lamb is hard to come by here, so I've subbed pork successfully. Serve with hot cooked rice and Recipe #482649 482649.
